6 Windows Configuration
Overview
This chapter details a complete Windows** configuration setup including:
1. Identifying the Ethernet Interface on the network using TCP/IP as the
underlying protocol.
2. Configuring the Ethernet Interface with its mandatory TCP/IP settings
(IP address and subnet mask).
3. Configuring a new printer on the Windows station.
Windows Environment Description
The Ethernet Interface supports network printing under Windows
environments by using TCP/IP. In a Windows NT** setup, pure TCP/IP is
used as the network protocol whereas with Windows 95**, NetBIOS over
TCP/IP is used.
Figure 12 shows two of the most common Windows setups you will see
with the Ethernet Interface. The ideal configuration is a network printer
defined on the NT server to be shared by Windows 95 clients. However,
any Windows station can also go directly to the Ethernet Interface.
